Keeping Safety First in the Turkey Woods:
If you are a turkey hunter, you know first-hand the excitement this spring season brings. There's little
that compares to holding a conversation with the wild turkey in his native tongue. One thing we must
always remember, however, is the fact that often times we can't distinguish between another hunter
calling and the real thing. If we can fool the bird, what makes us think we can't fool each other? With
that being said, always be aware of your position in the woods and the possibility that the ol' tom
you're stalking could be Tom Smith! Decoys can be equally deceiving and, without proper measures,
the most well-thought plan can prove disastrous when there's a careless hunter in the turkey woods.
Make certain if you see another hunter approaching, you make him/her aware of your position. When
carrying decoys, be sure they are well-concealed or clad in orange. Never use anything red, such as a
handkerchief, since this can be mistaken for the wattle of a male bird. Keep a watchful eye for snakes
as well and wear snake boots or chaps as an added precaution. Have a great season! --JEH

Using Spinnerbait Trailers:
When it comes to spinnerbait fishing, some anglers often ask the question: "Do you always use a
trailer on your spinnerbait?" Here's my take on trailers. First of all, if I am fishing stained to muddy
water, I will add either a split-tail trailer or a grub-tail trailer (for more action) in order to help bulk up the
spinnerbait and so the fish can see and home in on the bait better. In semi-clear to clear water I like to
throw the spinnerbait "naked" (without a trailer) because I don't want the fish to get to good a look at
the bait. I want to get a reaction bite based off the flash of the bait, especially when the bass are
feeding on shad. There are some pros who will never throw a spinnerbait without a trailer due to the
action it adds to the bait. Bottom line, you must experiment for yourself in order to see if you get more
strikes with or without the trailer. You will find that some days they want it with a trailer and other days
they don't want it at all. There is no right or wrong answer on this one. Tight Lines, --Graf
